今天我們要學的詞是 demise.
demise 的意思是消亡、終結。
November marks 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Wall's demise brought an end to a divided Germany, and symbolized the eventual liberation of Eastern Europe from Soviet communist rule. 11月份標志著柏林墻倒塌30周年。柏林墻的終結帶來德國的統(tǒng)一,并象征東歐最終擺脫蘇聯共產主義統(tǒng)治。
Among the main victims of the terrorist militant group ISIS, residents in Syria and Iraq felt relief at the demise of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who presided over the self-styled “caliphate.” 作為恐怖主義激進組織伊斯蘭國的主要受害者,敘利亞和伊拉克民眾對曾領導那個自稱為“哈里發(fā)”的巴格達迪的暴斃感到欣慰 。
